Resources to give away northern beaches

24/2/2014

0 Comments

 
Ayumi Dalpadado at Davidson High School has resources to give away, to be collected from the school.
VHS tapes
Cassette tapes
6 boxes of Nihongo Daisuki videos (VHS)
Worksheets to accompany Kimono 1 & 2 (4 folders worth)
Dolls
Realia
Books (old text books, dictionaries, etc.) and loads more.  They are old but if a school is starting up Japanese, they may be of some use - it seems a shame to throw it out.  Someone will need to come and pick it up over the next couple of weeks.
Please contact Ayumi directly via email.

Big bento lunch

21/2/2014

0 Comments

 
If you registered for Big Bento Lunch through our website and haven't yet received a confirmation email and registration number, please register again. You can register at www.victassa.jetaa.org.au/register

Our registration form is now working (we triple checked!) and everything is working smoothly. We apologise for any inconvenience.
Thank you to everyone who has registered so far.
We're aiming to raise more than $5,000 for the Save Minamisoma Project, which for the past three years has
been delivering fresh food and clean drinking water to people who have been displaced by the earthquake and tsunami, and the radiation from the Fukushima nuclear power plant.
There are still about 7000 people – including more than 300 children – living in temporary housing in Minamisoma. The vast majority of these people used to live within 20km of the power plant and therefore are
unable to go home for the foreseeable future. Your support will mean a great deal to them, and to the Save Minamisoma volunteers, as funds are getting more and more difficult to raise three years on.
More information is available
at the Big Bento Lunch website www.bigbentolunch.com.au
(now incorporated into the JETAA Vic/Tas/SA website), or on our Facebook
page

Seeking ideas for clubs to promote Japanese in my school

20/2/2014

0 Comments

 
I have arrived at a school where the Japanese language has lost its following. I'm trying to think of ways to get the interest going again. I'm  interested in ideas teachers might have to help enthuse the kids. My students suggested an anime club. Are any other schools running clubs? How are they organised? What kinds of clubs?
Thank you in advance
Melissa Pol  melissa.pol1@det.nsw.edu.au
